My 35,000 btu gas furnace has a "0.64 amps @ 115 volts ac" (about 75
watts) fan and that has worked fine for 14 years. Seems to me that's
about the same size as your heating element. If you had a lot of duct
work, it might be a different situation, but IIRC you said this thing will
sit on the floor and warm the shop while you are in it.

Your furnace also has a squirrel cage fan too, not a paddle fan.
